Road Trip Essentials

Welcome 'Bore Dahlings' to the Owain Wyn Evans show, filled with your daily musings! We want to know about your road trip essentials. What items are non-negotiable for the road?

Welcome ‘Bore Dahlings’ to The Owain Wyn Evans Show, the place to start the day.

As always, the show is brimming with Airdrum Anthems and daily musings, keeping the early hours lively and full of character.

Today, we want to know about your road trip essentials. What items or rituals are absolutely non-negotiable when you set off on a journey? Is it a perfectly curated playlist, a stash of snacks, or a particular travel companion who keeps the mood just right?

Whatever makes your trip complete, we would love to hear it.

In The Yous Headlines, we have more wholesome and wonderfully quirky news from across your worlds. Expect tales of a gaggle of famous geese, a record-breaking cycling achievement and the refined work of a premium pea taster.

We are diving into another Airdrum Anthem to get the day moving. This month, Radio 2 is dedicated to the sounds of the 1980s, so every anthem is a nod to that unforgettable decade. Expect synths, bold beats and songs that demand a little air-drumming, whether you are at home, at work or on the road.

Want to share your favourite track for a future Airdrum Anthem? Email Owain@bbc.co.uk with your choice and the reason it deserves its moment.

If you missed the start, simply ask your smart speaker to rewind to 4am and catch the whole show from the very beginning.
